Have been to five different productions since moving to Pitlochry 6 months ago and each has been entertaining in its own way.It's a lovely theatre with welcoming and efficient staff.The wee gift shop is too good...I inevitably go home with bits and pieces! I attended Monarch last week with a visitor from Canada- she loved it- the theatre,the production ,the shop.
(If I have one criticism it's the prices.We moved from Mull where the Little Theatre prices are much less.)
Great theatre, lovely place to visit. We saw High Society on Saturday the 29th July and had a great time. Lovely theatre staff and great cast made for a good night. Very small niggle re Ladies loos: The queue was terrible both before show and at interval, making it a little stressful. Otherwise great job everyone!
Our first visit to this rural Theatre and was very impressed.
Met at the door and shown seats in the spacious lounge.
Probably could have done with more seats for the elderly audience.
The choice of food and drink was excellent.
The auditorium was excellent with great views of the stage. But again the rows of seats were slightly to close and a few could do with updating.
Excellent night out and we'll be back.
Since seeing my first play here last week, I have popped back in to the café with my son to warm up after our sip in the Loch!
The play, Noel Coward’s Brief Encounter, was fabulous. The cast of seven also dipped in and out of a jazz band on stage that added a beautiful dynamic to the play.
We started our evening with supper in the café - delicious soup, a glass of wine and a sweet treat to finish, served by friendly and helpful staff. You can order picnic boxes which give a delightful mix of supper items to fit all dietary requirements. Views over the river Tummel and even to Ben Vrackie on a clear day.
The newly redeveloped café and entrance area is a lovely open space to await a performance or just pop in for a coffee and cake whilst visiting the area. There’s outside seating and a little children’s play area as well as a small number of plants for sale from the Explorers Garden which is in the same site; and ticketed separately (£5) and well worth a visit.
Great place. 1951 build but recently renovated, it looks incredibly stylish and modern, into the lovely woods around Pitlochry.
Feels like a hidden diamond.
And the quality of plays, it is unbelievable.
I was so impressed by the quality of plays and the skills of the actors. Didn't felt like theater, more like opening an window into a real life situation.
We have loved PFT for years. Their renovation makes a visit even more enjoyable. What they have done with the building is just wonderful. The artistic directors are passionate about bringing quality productions to Perthshire and we are so lucky to have them in this part of the world. Highly recommend a visit wherever possible!
We travelled to Pitlockery twice in the space of a week to watch two brilliant plays(Private Lives & Noises Off). Haven't laughed that much for a long time. It is well worth the trip to Pitlockery Festival Theatre as they put on some really quality plays and need our support to keep Theatres like these that don't have a large population close by alive.
Fantastic venue, with very professional plays. There are two theatres, one regular, and an much more intimate smaller theatre.
If you ever find yourself passing through Pitlochry I'd recommend having a look to see if there's anything that interests you.
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Pitlochry Festival Theatre. We saw ‘Gypsy’. The performance was so professional and the standard of both singing and music was exceptional. I will definitely be returning to see more shows. Excellent facilities for the disabled.
Great unique atmosphere. Cast are multitalented acting various parts while playing a variety of instruments. The show - Gypsy - is, perhaps, dated but every good line got maximum crowd reaction. Vocal quality was excellent and the standing ovation at the end was well deserved

Having rented a car for business we were at a bit of a loose end when the business was concluded so did a trip from Perth up to Pitlochry for old times sake. We had been there in the late 90's before we moved to live overseas in Malaysia until early this year.
Somehow we got lost and ended up outside the Pitlochry Festival Theatre at lunchtime. The lot of the place as no very enticing and so we considered going back into town to find a café but... parking!
On a whim we decided to risk it and sampled the food in the theatre café.
Firstly, the staff, two delightful young ladies - Catherine and Glenda, were so helpful and friendly. They described the soup du jour as sweet potato, coconut and chilli. Three foods that didn't really sound like they would combine successfully. I risked it just because it was different. I also had an egg-mayo sandwich. My wife, K, had a cheese scone. We both had tea.
The soup was delightful, the sandwich delicious and the cheese scone delectable.
The tea was nice, too.
An excellent experience at a very reasonable price.
Two most satisfied customers walked out to resume our trip.
Thank you, Glenda and Catherine - and the Pitlochry Festival Theatre.
Fantastic community of theatre & nature lovers. The shows are some of the highest quality in Scotland and the atmosphere is so welcoming, friendly and generous. Helpful staff, delicious food and drink, rich plant selection outside, lush garden spaces and a great visit, whatever the weather.
